Good God, if people can't bear the "tension" of Hawk and Stoney disagreeing now and then, how do they go through life? There's more tension in your average commute, or meeting at work. To say nothing of the tension caused by what's happening on the field.

I guess I'll be the first to defend the "minimalist" approach that Hawk takes. My feeling has always been that he doesn't talk down to Sox fans and doesn't need to run his goddamn mouth non-stop for nine innings like most announcers.
Watching a game with Hawk announcing always seems like a fan is by your side and I wouldn't want it any other way. For those who need an announcer to spoon-feed you Baseball 101 (Bob Brenly) like the vast majority of current PBP men will, more power to you.

One of two things happened over the weekend. Either... a.) Stone Poney's agent got word back from the D-Backs that they're not interested, or... b.) Reinsdorf sat down with Stone and told him to get his crap together because he's not letting him out of the contract. I lean towards choice b. All that said, I listened to the Cardinals broadcast a bit on the radio yesterday on my way home. I never realized how bad Mike Shannon is. He makes all of the Sox broadcasters sound competent, and that's quite the feat.

Great news! Now if Hawk would just retire; and we could bring in a fresh play by play announcer.

Hey, if he could get Ozzie and Kenny to work together (note that I didn't say successfully) when they were at each other's throats, this is a walk in the park. He likely did it tactfully rather than read the riot act. I suspect he has a clue about how to run a business.

I imagine if we did a poll (I know I could start one, but I won't) on which of the four Sox broadcasters you like the least, there wouldn't be a clear consensus... because every one of them is really unpopular with a large group of fans. That's remarkable, and I wonder if there's another team where all of the announcers are hated equally.

Unfortunately, it might say more about us being an almost impossible to please fanbase than the quality of the announcers...I'm pretty sure that if we had 4 "normal" announcers they would be just as hated.

People need to get XM and listen to other radio announcers, and MLB.tv and listen to other TV announcers. I think they'd be very hard pressed to find one that would meet everyone's expectations.
